- What pests are most common in Ottawa homes?
- Mice, carpenter ants, wasps, and cluster flies are the most common Ottawa home pests. Ask about a guarantee and follow-up visits when you compare companies.
- How much does pest control cost in Ottawa?
- The price turns on the pest, the size of the home, and how many visits the job honestly needs, because a single wasp nest and a mouse exclusion with sealing are not the same work. Ask for a written quote that names the pest, the number of follow-up visits included, and what the guarantee covers if they come back, and compare on that rather than on the headline number.
- How do I keep mice out in winter?
- Mice enter through gaps as small as a dime as it cools. Sealing entry points, keeping food sealed, and setting traps early works best; a pest company can find and seal the gaps.
- Are the treatments safe for kids and pets?
- Licensed technicians use products approved for home use and will tell you how long to keep children and pets off treated areas. Ask specifically about any indoor application.
- How long does it take to get rid of an infestation?
- A wasp nest can be resolved in one visit, while mice and carpenter ants often take a few weeks and follow-up. Ask for a realistic timeline and what the guarantee covers if they return.
